I've been working on something behind the scenes for a while now, and I think it's time to share it properly — because it genuinely changes how a pattern feels to use. It's called a 𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻. Now, if you've ever followed a knitting pattern and hit that moment where the numbers just don't quite match your tension — and you've either guessed, fudged it, or quietly given up — this is for you. A dynamic pattern 𝗮𝗱𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆. You enter your tension swatch results, and the pattern recalculates everything for you. Your stitch count. Your rows. All of it, based on 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 yarn and 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 machine — not some average that may or may not match what's happening on your needles. No maths. No guessing. No squinting at a chart wondering if you've got the right size. It also comes with clear step-by-step instructions, written for real knitters — not pattern-book shorthand that assumes you already know what you're doing. I've built this into MkH because I wanted patterns that actually 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 for the person using them, whatever machine they have, whatever yarn they've chosen. I'll be sharing more about this very soon — including how you can get your hands on one. 👀

Can anyone remember the 1st item they machine knitted? I went straight in and knitted a jumper (pullover) and it was huge, full of mistakes lol... But I wore it anyway 😁😁
